AI verdict CAUTION 57/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2009 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 29,248 miles. The vehicle's age and the number of advisories for suspension and brakes warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,655 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, showing normal usage for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in suspension (Dec 2020, Dec 2022) and brakes (Dec 2020, Dec 2023) indicate systemic wear.
  • Multiple advisories for coil springs (Dec 2018, Dec 2024) and brake system (Dec 2020, Dec 2023) suggest chronic issues.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars is below average for a 2009 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-30 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 7,655 miles/year suggests regular use without long periods of inactivity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
